Two Indonesian national team players suspended after victory over Bahrain

The Indonesian national team secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory against Bahrain in the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers (Asian Zone) at Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium, Jakarta.

The Garuda team’s winning goal came from Ole Romeny, sealing a crucial three points. However, the victory was marred by a significant setback.

Two key players, Maarten Paes and Marselino Ferdinan, will miss the next match after accumulating yellow card suspensions.

Marselino Ferdinan received a booking in the 34th minute for a foul on a Bahrain player, further complicating Shin Tae-yong’s squad selection for the upcoming fixture.

While Indonesia’s victory strengthens their campaign, the absence of Paes and Ferdinan will pose a tactical challenge for the next match. Shin Tae-yong must now adjust his strategy to maintain momentum in the qualifiers.
